AI Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the relationship between clinicopathological features, mucin phenotypes, and endoscopic findings in non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (NADETs) using crystal violet staining (ME-CV).
- - Researchers categorized 55 NADET patients based on mucin phenotypes and identified four distinct ME-CV patterns, finding significant differences among these groups.
- - Results indicated that gastric-type tumors frequently exhibited a "pinecone" pattern, particularly those associated with pyloric gland adenomas, and had distinct endoscopic appearances compared to other mucin types.
Article Abstract
Background And Aims: We aimed to investigate an association between clinicopathological features, including immunohistochemical mucin phenotypes, and magnifying chromoendoscopic findings with crystal violet staining (ME-CV) in non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (NADETs).
Methods: A total of 55 patients with NADET were divided into 3 groups by mucin phenotype: intestinal, gastrointestinal, or gastric. ME-CV findings were classified into 4 patterns: convoluted, leaf-like, reticular/sulciolar, and pinecone. The clinicopathological features and ME-CV findings were compared among the mucin phenotypes.
Results: Tumors of the gastric type were located in the duodenal bulb (p < 0.001), and contained pyloric gland adenoma (p < 0.001) more frequently than the other types. White-light endoscopy indicated that milk-white mucosa was less frequent in tumors of the gastric type than in those of the gastrointestinal type (p = 0.006) and the intestinal type (p < 0.001). ME-CV findings were significantly different between the gastric type and the other type (p = 0.028). Totally, 5 of 8 tumors of the gastric type manifested a pinecone pattern, 4 of which were compatible with pyloric gland adenoma.
Conclusions: The endoscopic findings of NADETs differ according to mucin phenotype. A pinecone pattern under ME-CV may be characteristic of NADETs of the gastric type, especially pyloric gland adenoma.

Effect of the Type of Herbal Preparations (Powdered Plant Material vs. Dry Ethanolic Extracts) on the Bioaccessibility of Bearberry ( (L.) Spreng.) Phytochemicals in Simulated Digestion Conditions.
Molecules
December 2024
Department of Botany, Mycology and Ecology, Institute of Biological Sciences, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, 19 Akademicka Str., 20-033 Lublin, Poland.
The main aim of this study was to determine the potential bioaccessibility of bearberry phytochemicals influenced by the type of herbal preparations. Herbal preparations-powdered plant materials and dry extracts obtained using various ethanol concentrations (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%) were subjected to simulated gastric or gastrointestinal digestion for the evaluation of the bioaccessibility of the phytochemicals. The phytochemical characterization of the plant material, dry extracts, and potentially bioaccessible fractions was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectrophotometric assays.

: This study explored the potential of MCM-48 mesoporous silica matrices as a drug delivery system for metformin hydrochloride, aimed at improving the therapeutic management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The objectives included the synthesis and characterization of MCM-48, assessment of its drug loading capacity, analysis of drug release profiles under simulated physiological conditions, and the development of a multifractal dynamics-based theoretical framework to model and interpret the release kinetics. : MCM-48 was synthesized using a sol-gel method and characterized by SEM-EDX, TEM, and nitrogen adsorption techniques.

Department of Gastroenterology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, 200349 Craiova, Romania.
Background: In the last few decades, it has been emphasized that dopamine, a well-known neurotransmitter with multiple roles in central nervous system, is also implicated in the activity of peripheral tissues and organs, more specifically influencing the gastrointestinal system (GI).
Methods: We registered a protocol under the CRD42024547935 identifier in the Prospero register of systematic reviews. Furthermore, using the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Study Design strategy to guide our study rationale, and under the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses recommendations, we conducted a qualitative systematic literature search based on the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using the "gastric cancers AND dopamine" search criteria.
The Influence of Bariatric Surgery on Matrix Metalloproteinase Plasma Levels in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

December 2024
Department of Surgery, R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD 21201, USA.
Background: Bariatric surgery is a safe and effective procedure for treating obesity and metabolic conditions such as type 2 (T2DM). Remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) supports adipose tissue expansion and its metabolic activity, where matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a key role in ECM regulation. The MMPs, particularly MMP-2 and MMP-9, are elevated in patients with morbid obesity, metabolic syndrome, and T2DM.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) significantly damage biological systems related to reproductive, neurological, and metabolic functions. Approximately 1000 chemicals are known to possess endocrine-acting properties, including bisphenol A (BPA) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). This study primarily focuses on the potential effects of EDCs on the transcriptional levels of innate immune prophenoloxidase (proPO) system-related genes under oxidative stress in the gonads and stomach of the mud crab , an indicator species for assessing coastal benthic environments, when exposed to 1 µg L, 10 µg L, and 30 µg L BPA or DEHP.
